Is a Sawyer Squeeze better than a LifeStraw for backpacking?

Across specialist communities like r/backpacking, r/Ultralight, and r/CampingandHiking, the consensus is yes: the Sawyer Squeeze (and Mini) can attach to bottles and bladders so you can filter on the move and fill containers, while the basic LifeStraw forces you to lie down at the water source. LifeStraw is still widely recommended as an emergency backup or travel filter, just not as a primary backpacking setup.
